    7:12 That bouncing attack looks like it was ripped straight out of Altered Beast, and it *coincidentally* happened to be one of the Bear transformation’s attacks.
    14:12 “This is the most naked creature I’ve ever seen in a video game”, Matt says, as if Felicia and Morrigan from Darkstalkers didn’t exist. Heck, Firebrand from Demon’s Crest actually struts around *fully naked* for the entire game and no matter what form he takes.

    • @npiper
      @npiper Рік тому

      That is only basic nudity, 100% Nudity, any drunk can take off their clothes and be basically nude. THIS is Advanced Nudity, nudity that surpasses 100%, an eroticism that bares the soul. Advanced Nudity cannot be stopped by merely adding fabric, if anything clothing will only make them MORE naked.

    I've loved this game for years, though I never saw the original arcade cabinet. I had no idea the Japanese version was so different either for the better. Letting you keep the beast form longer like this is always a positive, the English versions it has its own meter separate from your health so it runs out from taking damage, too. Plus every credit you used went towards giving more health instead of more lives, since you basically had infinite health and no lives. But now I'm gonna have to try out this version of the game to experience these differences, too.

    Games like this are why I miss arcades so much.

Just can't get that in online play - that vibe just isn't there. Y'all gotta be in the same place.

    Also I glad that we all can just get over the awkwarness and prudish and just accept that sexy animal people are hot, but is so funny how much of a "furry" maker this game is. Not just with people turning to anthropomorphic animals, but the fact that so many of them are also so muscular, as naked as they can get away with and they even have this shin on there bdoies to make them look all oily and shiny. The first boss's muscles even grow and inflate tearing the clothes before exploding and than people wonder why people are furries.
